chris murphy and todd young are introducing a bill today to force a vote on u.s. military support for saudi arabia as a bipartisan support to block president trump's emergency arms sales to saudi arabia and other gulf states is mounting. on friday, "the new york times" reported that the contested arms deal -- secured after trump used an emergency declaration last month to push it through without congressional approval -- will allow for hi-tech u.s. bomb parts to be manufactured in saudi arabia. under the deal, raytheon would work directly with saudi arabia on precision-guided bomb technology, which has been used against civilians in the u.s.-backed war in yemen. the provision is part of an $8.1 billion arms package for saudi arabia, the united arab emirates, and jordan. both democratic and republican lawmakers, including staunch trump ally lindsey graham, have blasted the arms deal and senators have announced 22 resolutions against it -- one for each sale. senator chris murphy said in a statement -- "the process we are setting in motion will allow congress to weig
